Who are the greatest vegan/vegetarian superheroes?

Fuck Waid

Animal Man
Beast Boy sometimes
Legion of Superheroes (at least Reboot)

Buddy Baker (Animal Man)
Beast Boy
Damien Wayne
Magneto

This is an elseworlds right.
Because supes being vegan is retarded.
>>
>>86844480
This board has hated Waid long before this was posted.
>>
>>86844531
Explain why.
>>
>>86844531
No. I mean, it's not canon anymore, but it used to be. Superman: Birthright replaced The Man of Steel as Superman's origin story. This lasted until Infinite Crisis and then Superman: Secret Origin became his canon origin story.
>>
>>86844582
Kryptonians are omnivores. It would go against nature for them to not eat meat.
>>
>>86844582
Why the fuck would he even need to eat?

I enjoy the idea of him eating out of habit, even though he doesn't need too.
>>
>>86841269
Err... Clark?
Plants are living things you bleeding-heart idiot.
>>
>>86844603
>>86844613
He has a stomach, he needs to eat. If anything, eating 'alien' meat makes even less sense for him to do.
>>
>>86844603
Except Superman has morals and he would never destroy anyone's soul. If Superman has soul vision (which was the case in Birthright) then he can't eat meat. It's as simple as that.

>>86844626
They don't have souls.
>>
>>86844636
>He has a stomach, he needs to eat.
Source?
>If anything, eating 'alien' meat makes even less sense for him to do.
But eating alien plants (and assumedly funghi) makes perfect sense?
>>
>>86844644
>They don't have souls.
Why not? He specifically says "living things" not "animals".

>>86844649
Let me fish out 90 pictures of Superman eating while you spin some bullshit about how it all gets destroyed in some black hole inside his body, sure.
>>
>>86844644
And the idea that eating something destroys its soul is absurd.
>>
>>86844702
Him eating doesn't mean he needs to eat.
Plenty of things eat without having a stomach, and it's not like Kryptonian anatomy makes sense.
In general things that have photsynthesis don't need to eat.
>>
>>86841269
>vegan
>aura faggotry
Pathetic
>>
>>86844644
Why would killing an animal destroy their soul though? The very concept of a soul is that it is the metaphysical core of a living being that will continue to exist after the physical body has died.
>>
>>86844744
Exactly.
Eating something causing the destruction of the soul has to be the most absurd thing i have seen in all my years reading dc magic.
>>
>>86844582

Because his favorite food is beef bourguignon with ketchup.
>>
>>86844744
maybe it's not destroyed, but it can no longer be seen and nothingness is left in it's place
he finds it fucking disturbing
>>
>>86841269
It seems so odd that a man raised by Midwest farmers is a vegetarian.
>>
>One final little note, which has nothing to do with the fact that Grant wrote "Animal Man" and Millar’s a veggie, but is a matter for pure logic. Clark eats bouef bourginon? The man with a code against killing eats murdered animals? Regardless of his farm upbringing, can we justify a Superman this aware and attuned to life in all its forms being a carnivore? Though there’s no need to make a direct, on-stage issue of it, file this thought away; his diet would be beans, pulses and windfall, if anything, and his body would be capable of extracting maximum energy from these simple foods if not solely from the sun’s rays.

A vegetarian is merely a person engaging in prolonged suicide. I cannot fathom the depths of their weakness and inability to face Life. And by Life I mean all of it, the whole terrifying spectacle of nature.

Sometimes I think that it's a kind of evolution at work here, a separation of humanity and apedom. A few generations of vegetarians would result in a new species. Docile, stupid, easily mantained. A perfect slave race if you will. Much of the bullshit being shilled to people seems to have this end result in mind.

It doesn't, calm down son, it just doesn't particularly make sense.
By that reasoning there's little reason he'd respect animal life but not plant life.

Maybe you just don't like Superman. MUH EDGE was a homage to Golden Age Superman and together those comprise the most famous comic origins for him (outside Shuster's original MUH EDGE). Unless you prefer Earth One or Byrne's take.
>>
>>86845080
Nigger you like Johns' Superman movie pitch, you're not the one to talk.
>>
>>86845060
It's just hypocritical as fuck to say that it comes from his "respect for life", and as it's been pointed out souls don't die when bodies die.
It's not complex, it's just obviously Waid inserting his beliefs, he should have just made him a non-eater, less of a mental gymnastic to justify "see, literally the best guy in fiction agress with my view".

I wonder what Swamp Thing would think about Supes' stance.
>>
>>86845107
Well, Golden Age is shit. That's why you need character to had decades of development to be good, Post-Crisis Supes - best incarnation of this hero with best stories. Earth One is okay story, still much better than Wide's shit and Morrison's tribute to shitty era.

I want to though. But seriously speaking as the grandson of farmers, who's earliest memory is seeing my beloved grandmother casually break a chickens neck? Farming and respect for the lives of all animals don't exactly go hand in hand.
>>
>>86845060
But why does he have soul vision.
Why does a soulless corpse leave an emptiness in its place.
>>
>>86844603
First of all, how do you even know Kryptonians are omnivores?

Second, humans are omnivores as well and yet there are plenty of vegetarians.
>>
>>86844759
I suppose thats fair but then why does he have fucking soul vision in the first place.
Why does a departed soul leave nothingness
No mystic has ever complained about this.

>>86845018
humans maintained the pre stone age bodies of our ancestors which were plant based eaters. we are obligate starch eaters. we cannot regulate our blood cholesterol which is one of the best markers for whether an animal is an herbivore as opposed to omnivore or carnivore if physiological features like teeth complex facial muscles and digestive system arent good enough. whole food plant eaters have a higher sex drive. sharper minds and longer lives. you tell me who is docile and dumb.

But why doesn't he see the souls of plants then?
Or does the life need a certain amount of intelligence to have a soul?

If so its not wrong to eat certain animals, some are basically automatons, like the koala.
>>
>>86846032
>plant eaters have a sharper minds
But predators have a greater ratio of more developed brains and have more tough capability thanks to hunting being hard.
They are also more prone to social behaviours and are less likely to attack creatures when they aren't hungry while a plant eaters are mostly retarded dumb and prone to violently attacking anything in certain scenarios than simply moving away.

Also most also kill creatures to eat their bones for calcium.

If souls exist, as something meaningful and separate from the animal itself, how would eating meat destroy it?
>>

For you.
>>
>>86845280
you can tell that in any animal by looking at their teeth. Herbivores have the big, flat ones that are designed for chewing on tough plant matter -- look at giraffes. Carnivores have the big pointy teeth for killing and ripping tissue, like a tiger does. Omnivores have a mixture of both, like humans. Seeing as Kryptonians look exactly like humans, you can draw your own conclusion
>>
>muh vegetarianism
>muh morals
listen, I don't care how you justify your plant eating exclusivity, I'm going to keep eating a balanced diet the way my body was clearly intended to. I have incisors, fangs, molars and premolars and I plan to use them all.

>>86845018
>appeal to nature

>>
>>86844644
If Superman thinks eating meat is murder, why isn't he actively trying to shut down the meat industry and forcing everyone to become vegan? Surely he can't live with himself knowing he's letting so many innocent souls die each day.
>>
>>
>>86850058

>forge your own path

Any path requiring you to buy a shitload of supplements to keep your body from falling apart isn't a path worth taking.

I have a personal gripe with this bullshit. A few years ago I worked with a vegan boss. He couldn't do shit because low energy and malnutrition. Naturally the guy went on a trip and caught TBC in India (he's "spiritual"). To cut it short me and a few coworkers all had to get tested, and we're carriers of the thing. If I ever reach advanced age it might be the thing that kills me. The boss in question ended up quarantined for 6 months. We're talking full collapse of the immune system and everything else here. The doctors explicitly said that the only reason why he managed to get it was because of his vegan lifestyle. The body simply has nothing to fuel itself with. None of us other normal people got it.

It's all bullshit.

Eat meat, eat veggies, enjoy being the apex predator. There'll be enough time to be ecofriendly once you're in the ground. Circle of life nigga, circle of life.
>>
>>86844613
Superman TAS does just that.
"I hadn't eaten all day. Not that I needed to. But old habits die hard."

Also fuck Mark Waid and his Messiahman portrayal.
